LONG BEACH, Calif. — Move over, it's Saturday night at Club Bounce and people are bouncing onto the dance floor in a big, big way.
These are big, big people, all dressed to the nines and many tipping the scales at 250, maybe 300 pounds.
That's because this expansive nightclub a couple blocks from the Pacific Ocean, with its flashing lights, friendly atmosphere and wall-rattling hip-hop sounds, caters specifically to fat people.
That's right, fat people. Not just any fat people, either, but fat people who are proud to call themselves fat people. People who joke that they are part of the new Fat is Phat movement.
"Self-conscious? No! Not at all," laughs Monique Lopez, a curvaceous woman of 23 as she arrives in a tight, black dress and heels. "I was like, 'I'm going to Club Bounce tonight. I'm going to wear my shortest skirt.'" (Which she did.)
Judge rejects TD Ameritrade data theft settlement
AP | JOSH FUNK | Posted 10.26.2009 | Home
OMAHA, Neb. — A federal judge has refused to approve a class-action settlement over contact information stolen from online brokerage TD Ameritrade Holding Corp.
U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco says the deal offers little significant benefit to the more than 6 million current and former customers affected. The proposed deal offered anti-spam software and a promise of tighter security at TD Ameritrade.
Walker rejected the deal in an order filed Friday despite giving it preliminary approval earlier this year. He said the deal appeared to do more for Ameritrade and for the plaintiffs' lawyers, who were set to receive nearly $1.9 million in legal fees, than it did for the victims.
Anyone who held an Ameritrade account or provided an e-mail address to the company before Sept. 14, 2007, could have benefited from the settlement if it had been approved. The breached database included information on 6.2 million current and former customers.
Ameritrade spokeswoman Kim Hillyer said Monday the company was disappointed in the ruling.
